"Our Licensing University programme has consistently been one of the bright spots at Licensing Expo - and this year's new pricing structure will help make the programme even more affordable and accessible to professionals from all across the business," said LIMA president, Charles Riotto.

"Each of our 24 sessions is specifically designed to deliver enlightening and actionable information to help companies directly and positively impact their bottom line. As Licensing University 'graduates', attendees come away better prepared to attain an even greater level of understanding."
